   Child forms and operation - non-MDI   
   28 Oct 05 00:01:37   
   
   XPost: comp.lang.basic.visual   
   From: otie_nospam@adelphia.net   
      
   I have a project with a main form and a second form with a grid on it.   
   Neither form is an MDI, thus neither form is a child - they are two   
   independent forms. The CALCULATE button on the main form opens the   
   second form and fills the grid with data. What I want to be able to do   
   is when I hit CALCULATE for the 2nd - 10th times, new forms identical   
   to the first grid form open each time I hit CALCULATE and each new   
   form gets filled with its own data. So at the end of 10 CALCULATE   
   operations, I have 10 forms with grids, all open at the same time. So   
   these new forms are in effect child forms and they look identical to   
   the first grid - they just have different data in them.   
      
   Can someone point me to where I might look in order to learn how to do   
   this? Thank you.   
      
   I'm guessing I either need to make an MDI form and use the CHILD   
   property - or can I just open new instances of the current form   
   without messing with any sort of MDI?   
      
   Thank you.
